Storey staffers share their June blooms.
I don’t know how things are growing where you live, but at my mostly-wooded home in the hills of the Pioneer Valley, my plants are on a weird schedule. Things that don’t normally flower until summer are almost through their blooming cycle while strawberries are just now starting to ripen enough for picking. It’s wonky, but it’s also added a lovely element of surprise to stepping out into the garden. This month, poppies are opening alongside peonies and irises abound. What’s blooming where you are? – Emily Spiegelman, Digital Features Editor

| First time I have seen this shaded poppy and it’s lovely. I have three of them! |

| Forget-me-nots (domestic, not wild) hey spread themselves everywhere, to my great pleasure! |
